BAU vs LU -Helping someone
Hi everyone,
I'm asking on behalf of a friend who's about to start university and is stuck between BAU and LU for engineering. I don't know much about either, so I'd like your input to help him decide. AUB and LAU are out of reach financially, and his grades aren't strong enough for a scholarship, so these two are his realistic options. His plan is to finish his bachelor's here, then go abroad for a master's or MBA.
Some questions:
- Which is better for engineering, BAU or LU? (teaching quality, labs, faculty)
- Is LU much harder than BAU, or is the difficulty about the same?
- Which gives better odds of getting into a good master's abroad? Do admissions offices care about the school, or is it mostly GPA and projects/research (I know getting good grades at LU is very hard) ?
- Any strikes, instability, or lost semesters at either one lately?
- If you studied at either one, what do you wish you'd known before choosing?
Honest experiences are welcome, good or bad. Thanks!
